The AirTAC Airtac MARF Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MARF20X130S is a genuine double acting + cushion (front mount) standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 130mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome-plated rod for reliable, mildly corrosion-resistant service. A variable air cushion at both ends lets you tune end-of-stroke deceleration on site.
Built around a flange that is part of the front cover itself, the MARF20X130S is a double-acting 20 mm mini cylinder with 130 mm of stroke and a variable cushion you can trim at both ends. It produces 157.0 N on extension and 131.9 N on retraction at 0.5 MPa, rising to 219.8 N and 184.7 N at 0.7 MPa.
For sizing, treat about 94 N as the practical push at 0.5 MPa; that corresponds to lifting roughly 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety factor. The riveted stainless tube and hard-chrome plated rod resist corrosion in humid or outdoor plants, and the two-way piston seal traps grease so lubrication intervals stretch. Operating window: 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), 30-800 mm/s.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MA-series datasheet. Barrel: stainless-steel tube (round-body, riveted rolling-packed construction); piston rod: carbon steel with 20µm hard-chrome plating; covers: aluminium alloy. Thread options: PT (blank) / G / NPT. Every MA-series cylinder ships with a built-in magnet for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG position sensors.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 157 N | 132 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 220 N | 185 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 32 kgf | |
Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin.
| MAR | Standard round-body mini cylinder (double-acting, integrated mount, variable cushion). |

| F | Front-cover mount: F = front-flange mounting. |
| 20 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×130 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -S | Built-in magnet for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors (standard on MA series). |
MA-family variants: MA / MAC (double acting ±cushion), MSA / MTA (single acting push / pull), MAD / MACD (double rod ±cushion), MAJ / MACJ (adjustable stroke ±cushion), MAR (cushioned with integrated F/U mount). Mounting accessories: FA flange, LB foot, SDB pivot; plus I and Y knuckles. Thread PT (blank) / G / NPT.
Sets a print-and-apply label head down onto passing boxes; the 130 mm stroke reaches across the conveyor edge and the cushion prevents head slam.
Sweeps off-cuts into a catch chute after each cut; front-flange bolting keeps the cylinder square to the chute mouth without extra brackets.
Advances sample trays one position in a compact benchtop analyser; about 8 kg of vertical-lift capacity covers the loaded tray weight easily.
If 157 N at 0.5 MPa falls short, the next bore up, 25 mm, offers 245.3 N and the 32 mm bore reaches 402.2 N in the same family. This cylinder will not hold a load when air pressure drops; the cushion only softens the last few millimetres of travel, so fit a rod lock for secure holding. The integral front-flange face mates directly to a machine plate and the magnet works with CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches.
Quick checklist
Push is 157.0 N and pull 131.9 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa the numbers are 219.8 N and 184.7 N, with a theoretical maximum of 32.0 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Supply 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-800 mm/s, air filtered to 40 um.
The rolled stainless-steel tube shrugs off moisture, mild chemicals and washdown splash that would rust a painted mini cylinder. Combined with the hard-chrome plated 8 mm rod, it stays smooth and sealed in damp food or outdoor locations. The magnet inside is standard and pairs with CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches.
